Abstract
In an image forming apparatus of the present invention including a plurality of photoconductive drums arranged side by side, each photoconductive drum is configured to allow its opposite end portions in the main scanning direction to be adjusted in maximum eccentricity position in the direction of rotation independently of each other. The maximum eccentricity positions of the drums are capable of being matched in phase to each other in the direction of rotation at each of opposite end portions.
